How Public Work is Done.

We noted some time since the dis.
gracefully insanitary condition of the
Treasury and Pension buildings in
Washington, with the cost of almost the
life of Secretary Manning. and probably
of many humber individuals, who have
an equally good right TO live. Mr.. Man
ming has taken his department in hand,
and in revising the sanitary arrangements
the inspector of plumbing, Mr.. S. A.
Robinson, developed the circumstance
that the government had Lot SO much as
a diagram or description of any part of
drainage and piping of the Treasury
building. In addition to exposing de-
fects in construction and the rottenness
of the brick drains throughout the build.
ing, an analysis of the air was made.
Tne microscopic examination showed the
existence of germs and bacteria, and the
enormous percentage of organic matter
showed by other tests indicated the
emanation of sewer gas in the rooms.
The sewer along the east consider was
found to be OF one brick thickness, and
put together with mortar instead of ce.
ment, and the bottom so broken as to
admit of leakage, polluting the soil along
the whole line OF the bullding.-[Sani-

At last Congress seems to take some
decisive action against polygamy in
Utah. The Tucker substitute for the
Edmunds bill, which has passed the
House, seems strong enough to break up
the whole organization. 1t dissolves the
Church of the Latter Day Saints and the
Perpetual Emigration Fund Company.
1t strips poygamists of the power of both
the ballot and the military, as we'll as
the appointment of all the judges ard
selectmen of the county and probate
courts, justices, sheriffs. constables and
other county and district officers. 1t
makes the lawful husband or wife com.
petent witness in prosecution for un.
lawful cohabitation. The aim of the
bill is to make the people of Utah feel
that the law is stronger than the Nor
mon Church. If it succeeds in doing
this it will wipe out Mormonism.-Phil-
adelphia North American, Rep.

Purified Watcrtor New berg, N. Y


The unsatisfactory condition of the
water furnished to the city during the
past summer has made it necessary for
the board to devise some means by which
the water may be purified and make fl.
for public use.
After much careful thought and study
the committee reports that this can only
be brought about by thorough system
of filtratlon and aeration. The very large
expenditure required for the mainte.
nance of the ordinary filter beds and the
certainty that if constructed they would
prove Ineffective for the work which
would be required OF them has led this
committee to give their more serious
consideration to the Hyatt system of
filtration and aeration now in successful
operation in various cities of the Union.
The main features of this system are as
follows: The coagulants which may
consist of sulphate of alumina and solu.
ton of lime, will be fed into the water
not to exceed two grains of each to the
gallon. The water then passes to the
first aerating apparatus, then through
inlet pipes to the Llters, entering above
the tiltering material consisting of one
part of coke to two parts sand; it per-
colates down through the same and is
conducted to the second aerating appar-
atus, where it receives o second aerating
and then flows into the reservoir and
thence into the pipes leading into the
city. By a simple and effective plan the
filter beds are cleansed every twenty.
four hours Sanitary Era.

Encouraging to the beet Sugar
Industry.


Attention is now being directed to
the posslb lities of sugar production on
this coast more than ever before. The
exceedingly low cost of dry granulated
sugar, even now established at Alvarado,
in this State, appears to have stimulated
a desire on the part of those largely
interested in the sugar business to look
more carefully into the subject. Mr..
Dyer, superintendent of the sugarie
mentioned, has repeatedly furnished us
with statistics of cost, which have been
published in these columns. No.witt.
standing the figures presented, there
has been disposition to discredit the
accuracy Of the statement that granu-
lated sugar from sugar beets, was now
being manufactured and laid down in
this market in barrels, at an average net
cost for seasons work of less than DC
per pound. The cost during some
months of the campaign this season,
has been but 81 So per hundred pounds.
With such showing as this under the
present disadvantages, is it too much
to suppose that beet sugar manufac-
turers would, with modern refneries,
be able 10 materially reduce the cost
of production? Careful estimates in re.
spect to cost, with a factory that is
capable of working 300 tons of beets
daily, place the minimum at 50. 31a per
hundred pounds. laid down in San
Francisco. Recent investigation by per.
sons in every way competent to make
approximately accurate estimates, have
confirmed the statement of Mr.. Dyer
toaching this matter. With facts of
this kind before them, it is not easy to
understand why men in this State, di-
rectly interested in the sugar business,
and avowedly pledged to the develop.
ment of home industries, should permit
so promising an industry as that OF
beet sugar to remain undeveloped.
If Representative Hiscock should
secure tho passage of the bill recently
introduced in Congress, there is an
abundance of capital here ready to en-
bark in this business. Whether that
measure passes or not, it seems quite
clear that il once properly established,
competition from any source could not
make it unprof table. 1t is not at all
likely that Congress is disposed to adopt
any measure, which would almost liter.
ally wipe out the cane sugar interest
of Louisiana. Assuming this to be true,
is there not sufficient already in the
beet sugar industry to justify invest
ment? 1t is evident beet root sugar can
be produced in this country at less cost
than cane sugar, and the possibilities
OF production are very great, particular
ly on this coast. With the facts al
ready presented, and the sentiments i'll
favor of protection to home producers,
the risk Of unwise or radical legislation
with respect to this important interest.
seems quite remote. Home capitalists
have been very reluctant to look into
the matter, thus far, but if they should
let the opportunity lie to long, they
may discover that foreign capital has
not been SO timid. The field is now
open to development by local enterprise;
but it hardly seems possible that
promising industry like this can remain
long unappreciated.-[S F. Grocer and
Country Merchant.

this part of the scheme going through.
If the estimates are correct and Califer,
MIA is to produce 100000 boxes of
raisins this year, and twice that sum
next year, it will be hard to find mar
ket for this product. AT present all the
Sultan grapes grown here are made
into Sultan raislns, but should the
market be glutted this variety Of grapes
could easily be converted into currants,
and made compete with the inporta.
tions from Zante. As that island and
cognate interests cut no figure in the
foreign relations of the United States,
there could hardly be any objection
made to keeping up the duty on cur.

sent from this city urgent dispatches to
